The ABPA Awards Program recognizes the growth of individuals and resulting impact on the Chapter and community. Recognition for a job well done is the purpose of the Awards Program. Whether on the local, state, national or international level, outstanding achievement deserves public recognition. An award is much more than just recognition or a "thank you." It serves as an inspiration to members and non-members alike, to other Chapters in the Association and to the community at large.

Please note that the nomination deadline is March 1, 2018. Award and submission information can be found in the the Nomination forms above. (Use the Individual Award Nomination Form for Director of the Year Award, Committee Chair of the Year Award, Certificate of Appreciation from the International President). Note that the 2018 submission deadline of March 1, 2018 overrides what is listed in the Awards Manual.
